Last night I attended a discussion tonight about Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" - it is coming out this Friday as a movie and the producer's step-son Mark Henderson, a Christian at Willowdale church- has written a response to the movie "Soul of Atlas". Mark has exclusive rights to show clips of the movie and he discussed growing up with an atheist step father and how he came to Christ. . (Thanks Mark) http://www.soulofatlas.com/
I never read Ayn Rand's books because I knew she was an atheist but now I am prompted to read them... since I want to understand. The discussion was much about how rational self interest is different from the Christian worldview of loving your neighbor as yourself... but it also pointedly stated that living to your highest level was important to both Christians and atheists... but Christians would tend to want to live their lives in a way that glorified God over self.
I think if Jesus is love and we put love in the picture that there should be a different dynamic - it is the only way...truly to make sense of it all.
